Unlike you who doesn't even believe that blacks are smart enough to know what they're angry about. You want to tell them the real reason they're angry...the democrats. It is to laugh.

Is it just me, or is it beyond bizarre that the biggest hero in America, the one who has millions kneeling or bowing down in his name, was imprisoned three or four times, had traces of fentanyl, pot, meth and morphine in his system when he died, and was trying to pass counterfeit $20 bills? I think it's just you. What is it that you find "beyond bizarre"? Why do you try so hard to find a reason to dislike the guy? Is it necessary that we like someone to believe they were treated unjustly? No vilepagan, the point is that Mr. Floyd is seen as a martyr and the fact is that he was a career criminal who preyed on innocent people. He was in prison multiple times for different crimes. No one believes he should have been killed. His killer(s) will receive justice, but his death in no way deserves the mayhem it has created. |

I might have a fever, too. not that I disagree with MDDad or Oakley, mind you. They are both quite correct. But as reprobate a life as George Floyd led, he still did not deserve to be killed by a police officer. |

Why do you try so hard to find a reason to dislike the guy? Is it necessary that we like someone to believe they were treated unjustly? When a guy is a serial criminal, a serial convict, a junkie, and a guy who would hold a gun to a pregnant woman's belly and threaten to kill her baby while his buddies robbed her home, I don't have to "try so hard" to dislike him. And no, I don't think it's "necessary that we like someone to believe they were treated unjustly". But I think it helps to like a guy before making him a national hero. So what's your point? I also find it odd that when Wabash expressed glee at the deaths of Rush Limbaugh and Linda Tripp on TOB, you had nothing to say. But here, when someone has a reaction other than wailing and gnashing of teeth at the death of Floyd, you find the need to correct them. Nice consistency. |

1. George Floyd was unjustly killed by a bad cop.
2. George Floyd was a career criminal.
3. Racism anywhere should be condemned.
4. The greatest threat to black lives is not racism--it's black crime.
All these things can be true.

The Democrats OWN this position, no matter how hard they try to deflect.

Sorry, you're right, my mistake. I should have said "when it was revealed he is dying of lung cancer."

LivePD also canceled.
I wonder if another network will pick any of these up - instant boost in ratings...

All these things can be true. On #3, which group of any substance whatsoever, is promoting racism such that anyone would need to condemn it in the first place? |

Mr. Floyd's past is simply irrelevant. He was unjustly killed by the police and his past transgressions had nothing to do with the way he was killed. People who are keen to bring up his past are engaging in the same tactics as those who accuse rape victims of dressing in a provocative way or being in the "wrong part of town"...it's just blaming the victim. BTW. 'mayhem" is legally defined as the mutilation of a corpse. |

I don't think anyone believes that Mr. Floyd is a "hero". I think most people think he was the victim of a tragedy. I think trying to make the victim of a tragedy look bad by bringing up his past is a low-life thing to do. Carry on. I think it's odd that you think anyone would want to respond to anything that Wabash has to say, and I also think there's no comparison to be made between Rush Limbaugh and Mr. Floyd...but by all means, do continue...it seems to make you feel better. |

No one, except perhaps the radical BLM movement. I wasn't implying any group was promoting this; just voicing what should be a given. |
